So, Ubuntu shows this 8087:0024 USB device, which is some sort of "Rate Matching Hub", but does not show the Ricoh device which Arch showed (and which I'm hoping is my webcam).

Generally speaking, what are my options if there is a physical device that doesn't even show up in lspci/lsusb at all? I noticed that in the Arch thread with the not-working Wacom, it at least showed up in lspci and whatnot.

Re: [SOLVED] Webcam Not Detected At All (Lenovo X220 Tablet)

Okay, thanks anyway. To any other knights and damsels of the Internet, that thinkwiki link did tell me a little more. First, Fn+F6 is the XF86Webcam button, and second, /dev/input/event5 (which I have) is supposed to be the webcam.

1. Fn+F6 did nothing, which isn't surprising since there's no device for the keycode [212] to talk to, and besides, I haven't told my window manager to map any command to keycode 212.2. /dev/input/event5, in Ubuntu, was the touchpad, so who the hell knows?

One user with a similar problem got his camera working this way: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11030635Yeah, I know this post is about system76 computer and not a Lenovo one, but at this point it's really the last thing I can think of.

In a horrible twist of events, I realized that the webcam that I thought wasn't being detected was actually a plastic placeholder. I called Lenovo and, sure enough, the system was configured without a webcam.

Which sucks, because I could swear I had chosen a webcam..........

On the bright side, I'll get a relatively cheap webcam that can clip to my monitor and is known to play nicely with Linux, and it'll never matter again.
